Traditionally, since the beginning, the Ngaro were dependent on the ocean. We relied on the reefs, mangroves and sea for our food, shelter and culture. Our ancestors hunted large marine animals from large, three sheet bark, diamond shaped canoes with oblique ends called ‘Winta’� We moved around freely between at least 8 of the major islands Hook, Whitsunday, Lindeman, South Molle, Hamilton, Hayman, Daydream and others� We are proud of our rock art cultural sites on Hook Island which are some of the oldest archaeological sites in Eastern Australia� We would also like to acknowledge the Yuwibara, Koinmerburra, Barada Barna and Wiri peoples who all have traditionally inhabited the Central Queensland region. Traditional owners have been informed and consulted about the scope of the project during 2018 including meetings of the Whitsundays Local Marine Advisory Committee, Bowen Local Marine Advisory Committee and Proserpine Indigenous Reference Group. We support the educational benefits of the underwater sculptures and particularly turtles, Manta rays, fish and coral that will increase awareness and appreciation of these species and reef issues and solutions. We are delighted that three of the four artists are working closely with traditional owners to incorporate indigenous knowledge and artwork into their underwater sculpture designs� Well known Torres Strait indigenous artist Brian Robinson has collaborated with on Niki Bidju Pryor on both Bywa and Migration of the Mantas. Niki Bidju Pryor has also worked collaboratively with Arts Collective on Anthozoa and the proposed ’Ngaro Dreaming of Anthozoa- Digital Interpretation’. Adriaan Vanderlugt has worked collaboratively with Arthur Gaby to illustrate the Manta Ray� Our aspirations for the underwater sculptures will lead to increased cultural interpretation, environmental education and improved health of the Whitsunday coral reefs and the broader Great Barrier Reef. In the future we anticipate that these underwater sculptures and associated reef restoration projects will lead to increased involvement of traditional owner scientists, artists, tourism operators and guides, reef rangers in the governance of the Great Barrier Reef. Alena West, Agnes Boyd, Toni Pryor, Roscoe Pryor, Boori Pryor Lynette Pryor, Cilla Pryor, Adrena Pryor, Elsie Kyle, Marie Coleman, Carol Prior Whitsunday Traditional Owners 4 5 Background In March 2017 Cyclone Debbie significantly damaged tourism and residential infrastructure, and some of the natural values of the Whitsundays (Chen 2017, Reynolds, 2017, Tourism and Events Queensland, 2017)� The clean- up and recovery have restored some infrastructure and tourism activity but many natural values such as large coral reef bommies may take decades to recover. Tourism operators and government are trying to make a positive difference for coral reefs damaged by Cyclone Debbie. This project represents an opportunity to link existing tourism products and attractions with new experiences through the development of the Whitsundays reef and island learning trail, involving marine public art installations combined with reef rehabilitation projects. Underwater public art, sculptures and reef restoration projects have been successfully installed in Australia and throughout the world and have led to multiple environmental, social and economic benefits. This is one of several key projects under the $7 million Tourism Recovery Fund, part of the jointly funded State and Federal Government $10 million tourism recovery package to support the rebuilding and recovery of the tourism industry in the Whitsundays� The Whitsunday reef recovery and public art project commenced in May 2018 and is due for completion by December 2019. The project is delivered on behalf of the Department of Innovation, Tourism Industry Development and the Commonwealth Games and led by Reef Ecologic Pty Ltd in partnership with Tourism Whitsundays, Whitsunday Regional Council with advice from Whitsunday and Bowen Local Marine Advisory Committees and stakeholders. We are working closely with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS). The Whitsunday reef recovery and public art project approach is based on extensive and ongoing community and stakeholder consultation and collaboration. We have co-designed and adapted the project with the tourism industry, council and government� The scoping stage of the project included underwater visual reef health surveys to determine which reefs have been damaged and which area are healthy. We advertised a global expression of interest for public underwater art and sculpture ideas and conducted a pilot research study supported by CSIRO to trial different art materials at different locations on Langford Reef and received over 400 survey responses. We worked with James Cook University and local citizen scientists installing coral nurseries containing 425 corals to support reef restoration at two degraded bays. All research was permitted by the GBRMPA and installations were supervised by QPWS� This Public Information Package provides relevant information for the permit assessment phase associated with the proposed installation of six sculptures of marine species in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Figure 1). These sculptures were selected by an independent local committee and are being designed and built by Whitsunday and Australian artists in consultation with Traditional Owners. We propose that these sculptures will be installed at Horseshoe Bay,

    Into the Deep: Scuba-Diving Faithful Honor Christ Underwater

    Into the deep: Scuba-diving faithful honor Christ underwater VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Imagine a pilgrimage where the faithful gear up with scuba fins and oxygen tanks or snorkel sets rather than hiking boots, sun hats and trek poles. That’s what happens in the crystal-clear waters of the Paradise Gulf along the Italian Riviera near Genoa. Pilgrimages to the bronze statue of Christ of the Abyss, an 8- foot-tall sculpture submerged 56 feet below the surface of the sea, were featured in the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, July 28. The statue, located offshore halfway between the small coastal villages of Camogli and Portofino, was the first known statue of Christ to be placed in the sea as a sign of his peace and protection for those who live, work or play by the water, to be a place of prayer and to commemorate those who have died there. According to Italian news, sports and tourism websites, the idea came from Genoa-born Duilio Marcante, the so-called “father” of underwater diving education. The statue’s home would be near where Marcante’s friend, Dario Gonzatti, died during a dive in 1950. Gonzatti, Marcante and Egidio Cressi created and tested the first prototypes of “Self-Contained Oxygen Breathing Apparatus” (ARO) in those waters. In 1952, Marcante proposed the idea of creating an underwater “Christ of the Abyss” to Giacomino Costa, a Genovese entrepreneur, shipowner and then-president of the Catholic Italian Sports Center. Costa asked Cardinal Giuseppe Siri of Genoa whether it would be inappropriate to place a religious statue on the bottom of the sea.

This 'rise of slime,' as one scientist calls it, is killing larger species and sickening people. By Kenneth R. Weiss Times Staff Writer July 30, 2006 MORETON BAY, AUSTRALIA — The fireweed began each spring as tufts of hairy growth and spread across the seafloor fast enough to cover a football field in an hour. When fishermen touched it, their skin broke out in searing welts. Their lips blistered and peeled. Their eyes burned and swelled shut. Water that splashed from their nets spread the inflammation to their legs and torsos. "It comes up like little boils," said Randolph Van Dyk, a fisherman whose powerful legs are pocked with scars. "At nighttime, you can feel them burning. I tried everything to get rid of them. Nothing worked." As the weed blanketed miles of the bay over the last decade, it stained fishing nets a dark purple and left them coated with a powdery residue. When fishermen tried to shake it off the webbing, their throats constricted and they gasped for air. After one man bit a fishing line in two, his mouth and tongue swelled so badly that he couldn't eat solid food for a week. Others made an even more painful mistake, neglecting to wash the residue from their hands before relieving themselves over the sides of their boats.

    82 3.3.4.4.3 Ecogeographic Studies of the Cranial Shape The

    82 3.3.4.4.3 Ecogeographic studies of the cranial shape The measurement of the human head of both the living and dead has long been a matter of interest to a variety of professions from artists to physicians and latterly to anthropologists (for a review see Spencer 1997c). The shape of the cranium, in particular, became an important factor in schemes of racial typology from the late 18th Century (Blumenbach 1795; Deniker 1898; Dixon 1923; Haddon 1925; Huxley 1870). Following the formulation of the cranial index by Retzius in 1843 (see also Sjovold 1997), the classification of humans by skull shape became a positive fashion. Of course such classifications were predicated on the assumption that cranial shape was an immutable racial trait. However, it had long been known that cranial shape could be altered quite substantially during growth, whether due to congenital defect or morbidity or through cultural practices such as cradling and artificial cranial deformation (for reviews see (Dingwall 1931; Lindsell 1995). Thus the use of cranial index of racial identity was suspect. Another nail in the coffin of the Cranial Index's use as a classificatory trait was presented in Coon (1955), where he suggested that head form was subject to long term climatic selection. In particular he thought that rounder, or more brachycephalic, heads were an adaptation to cold. Although it was plausible that the head, being a major source of heat loss in humans (Porter 1993), could be subject to climatic selection, the situation became somewhat clouded when Beilicki and Welon demonstrated in 1964 that the trend towards brachycepahlisation was continuous between the 12th and 20th centuries in East- Central Europe and thus could not have been due to climatic selection (Bielicki & Welon 1964).
